When it comes to copper-clad steel (CCS) wiring over traditional copper wiring, the choice is easy—Proline Safety’s Copper-Clad Steel Wire is preferred for many reasons and applications.

But what is CCS? CCS was first introduced in 1915. As a bi-metal conductor, it uses a uniform, continuous, lower high-carbon steel core that is chemically bonded with copper cladding. A cold rolling process ensures uniform coverage where no rehardening is necessary to prevent flaking, pitting, chipping, or cracking.
How CCS Differs from Copper
CCS clearly leads the way in added properties and economic feasibility that copper can’t compare.
The coating created in the bonding process protects the wire from breakage and abrasions, which gives it a 43 percent higher break-load than copper wire. Although one would think this would make it heavy, CCS is, in fact, ten percent lighter than copper. In addition, CCS has another leg up on copper with its conductivity strength, which makes it the natural choice across all industries.
CCS is also a cost-effective solution when compared to copper:
Its design of flexibility, memory, and overall feel make it a preferred copper substitute in every way.
Proline Safety’s Copper-Clad Steel Tracer Wire

Proline’s CCS wire is the preferred choice in many applications. Our products are used for tracer wire applications not exceeding 30 volts and conductively locate buried utility lines for the gas, water, sewer, telecommunication, and electrical markets. Additionally, our products are RoHS Compliant and work with connectors you already use.
Our Copper-Clad Wire products are stronger and lower in cost than traditional copper wire. Contact us to learn more about how Proline Safety’s CCS Wire is the superior wire of choice.
Copperclad Steel Wire is an excellent solution for areas with high rates of copper theft as the amount of copper used in the bonding process is minimal—6% to 10% depending on the conductivity. When Copperclad Steel Wire is used in place of copper, the grounding conductor is far less likely to be stolen. This feature is important not only from an economic standpoint, but also from the standpoint of safety and reliability. Often, the fact that a copper downlead has been removed is not evident until a surge current causes a failure in the system.
Copperclad Steel Wire can be jacketed to further reduce copper theft and is available in black with green stripe or grey. Available conductor sizes are 7#9, 7#10, #2 Str, #4 Str, #2 Solid, #4 Solid and #6 Solid. Please contact AFL for larger sizes not shown.
Copperclad Steel Wire is a strong, non-rusting, efficient grounding conductor. It is composed of Coppercladding that is permanently bonded to the central steel core of each wire. Copperclad provides the same conductivity and corrosion resistance as copper while maintaining the high strength of steel. Dead Soft Annealed (DSA) Copperclad Steel Wire is very flexible for easy preparation and installation. When compared to solid copper, Copperclad Steel Wire has faster impedance to ground for better protection of lines and equipment plus a higher resistance to thermal expansion failures. It also reduces the fatigue damage caused by more than 10 times that of annealed solid copper.
